Texas Board of Education passes Bluebonnet Learning curriculum | Texas
SUMMARY: The Texas State Board of Education approved the Texas Education Agency’s Bluebonnet Learning proposal, passing by an 8-7 vote. This initiative introduces new math and language arts curricula for K-8 students and provides resources for teachers. Governor Greg Abbott commended the decision as vital for enhancing education standards. The materials, which are provided voluntarily and at no cost, aim to improve student outcomes while offering additional funding to school districts that adopt them. However, some opponents, including the American Federation of Teachers-Texas Chapter, criticized the curriculum’s content and the ethical implications of funding preferences based on adoption.
